Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Arc5 Automatic Cleaning/Charging Wet/Dry Electric Shaver's superior shaving quality and ease of use. The cleaning station and quiet operation are also frequently praised, along with its good battery life and competitive price. A small number of users found the trimmer somewhat difficult to use.

    I’ve had other Panasonic shavers and this one is best so far. I don’t use the cleaning tank that came with it except for charging. I find that feature a good way to keep an eye on it’s charge status…I just don’t fill the tank with cleaning soap—I manually clean the shaver. I find it runs quieter than my other Panasonic shavers so that’s a plus. I would recommend this shaver for anyone who doesn’t have thick facial hair…it doesn’t it.

    This device works surprisingly well! The little flip out trimmer does a really good job at cutting off hairs very close to the skin. If there’s one thing that I’ve noticed that kept me from giving it 5 stars, is that it sometimes has a hard time catching all the hairs on my throat area. I have to go over it a few times, which irritates the skin a little bit. Overall though, I would still highly recommend this item. The battery life is also amazing.

    I am a mail courier so my face is beaten by the elements severely especially during the winter. Shaving would tear my face up and I decided to give an electric another go, and I’m glad I did. This razor is by far the best I have ever owned. It shaves as close as the bladed razors I have used in the past without fear of cuts, and without the skin irritation. I am extremely impressed!

    Great shaver! After a lot searching for an electric shaver to shave my head I came upon this one. Got tired of using a blade even though it gave me a closer shave. Too many nicks and sometimes bad cuts. This shaves nice and close and leaves my head smooth just like a blade would. Very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend to my fellow bald guys.

    I bought this hoping it would give me the close shave of a blade and I was not disappointed. I have tried many electric razors and none compare to this. I used a blade for 50 years and decided to try an electric due to some skin issues that the blade would just make worse. This ARC5 is worth every penny!! I still can hardly believe how close it shaves. It truly is as close as a blade shave.

    Longer whiskers do not get cut at all - have to use the edge trimmer for those. Otherwise, a great shave.
